Coming out of Early Access back in February on Steam and the Epic Game Store, KillPixel’s Quake-inspired dark fantasy horror FPS WRATH: Aeon of Ruin will finally be coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on April 25.

The story for WRATH: Aeon of Ruin sees players awaken as the Outlander among the ruins of what was once The Old World. Following the guidance of a mysterious being known as the Shepherd of Wayward Souls, players begin the bloody mission of hunting down the remaining Guardians of the Old World. Mow down hordes of enemies with nine distinct weapons.

Powered by the legendary Quake Engine, WRATH: Aeon of Ruin embraces the timeless elements of classic titles such as the aforementioned Quake, as well as Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Unreal, and HEXEN.

Equipped with weapons of exceptional power and an inventory of equally-exceptional artifacts, players must traverse ancient crypts, sunken ruins, corrupted temples and howling forests to bring death to your enemies. You have at your disposal old-school favourites like the double-barreled shotgun, as well as new tools of destruction such as the Retcher, a bioweapon that transforms disgusting cysts into deadly projectiles.

WRATH’s old-school experience is wrapped up with an exceptional music score from the mind of Andrew Hulshult (Quake Champions, Rise of the Triad, DUSK, and Amid Evil).

Currently, you can snag WRATH: Aeon of Ruin on Steam for a 25% discount until April 18th.

What the Fog wasn’t the only new announcement during the 8th anniversary livestream for Dead by Daylight . Behaviour Interactive is pulling out another out of nowhere crossover this time with Dungeons & Dragons. On top of that, fans will be treated to a Castlevania Chapter later in the year, as well as the long-awaited 2v8 Mode.

Coming June 3rd, Dead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons will introduce iconic D&D villain Vecna, known in Dead by Daylight as The Lich, as the new Killer. Meanwhile, a Bard, Aestri Yazar is the new Survivor. The new Chapter will also include a new map, Forgotten Ruins, taking players to a mysterious dungeon full of easter eggs for longtime D&D fans. Staples such as getting loot, magical items, and rolling dice will also be woven into the gameplay.

Players can try out the new Killer, Survivors, and gameplay features in the Public Test-Build, available now.

Meanwhile, the 2v8 Game Mode was announced for Dead by Daylight, offering a brand-new gameplay experience. The widely-requested mode will see 2 Killers face off against 8 Survivors on a much larger map. To ramp up the action, several gameplay adjustments have been made including the replacement of Perks for what essentially amounts to a class system and the addition of Cages instead of Hooks. More information on the 2v8 Game Mode will be revealed in a future livestream this July.

The good news didn’t end there, as fans were also treated to the enigmatic Project T, an in-development PvE action-horror shooter. Players will be able to join the Insider Program to receive exclusive news, and the chance to participate in playtests and share their ideas and feedback on the game.

Regarding The Casting of Frank Stone, which Behaviour has been teasing with small lore clips over the past week, a new gameplay trailer was revealed, hinting at the game’s branching narrative as the creation of an independent movie “unlocks horrors beyond comprehension.”

Lastly, Castlevania will be joining Dead by Daylight later this year as a new Chapter. Details will be revealed later this year, but fans did get a glimpse of what to expect with a teaser trailer.
